At our first meeting we elected the following officers: president, Loren Barr; vice president, Marion Jones; secretary, Harry Lee Perkins; treasurer, Irene Engel; reporter. Daniel Seligman; and Student Counicl Member, James Austin. At our initiation we were paired off in couples and marched up to the stage where we had ribbons tied on us and then we were marched back. After that a watermelon festival was held. A few weeks later the freshmen had a weiner roast at Indian Point which was enjoyed by everyone. In October we held a Hallowe’en party and invited the sophomores. There are fifty-two students left this year and we all hope to finish our journey together. Twelve

C. H. S. in September. 1936, and looked forward to a colorful high school career. They were initiated, and then they started in their new work. Before the year was over, seven classmates were lost. The rest of the group was very active in sports and school activities. In 1937, the class was happy to return to school and continue as sophomores. Three more students were lost, but three transfers from Williamsville joined the class. The new students were Wilma Jean Landreth. Betty Lou Metz, and Eston Landreth. The class was even more active than before. They sold ice cream bars and had two chili dinners, and payed the debts incurred the preceding year. The class showed their prowess in baseball, basketball, track, and band. All hope to return next year to continue in school as juniors. c r c r c G (r G r c )c ) 1938 r o pfocr c K5cr G ocv 5 focs rNfocr Eleven
